einfrastructures E-Infrastructures provide a new way of doing research. E-Infrastructures comprise: Connectivity Grid computing Supercomputing Scientific data Global Virtual Research Communities Standards
Network Layer The Research Network infrastructure provides fast interconnection and advanced services among Research and Education institutes of different countries GÉANT is the high-bandwidth, academic Internet serving Europe s research and education community. Connecting over 30 million researchers with a multi-domain topology spanning 34 European countries and links to a number of other world regions, TERENA (Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association) DANTE TERENA Membership Soon
Resource Layer Integrated Sustainable Pan-European Infrastructure for Researchers in Europe Grid - EGI.eu, currently, being established in Amsterdam, EGI.eu s focus is coordinating the continued operation and expansion of today s production grid infrastructure that supports over 13,000 researchers, many of them already heavy users of the infrastructure, across diverse disciplines such as Earth Science, Astronomy & Astrophysics, Fusion research, Computational Chemistry, Materials Science, Life Sciences and High Energy Physics. PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe) - is to enable high impact European scientific discovery and engineering research and development across all disciplines to enhance European competitiveness for the benefit of society. The PRACE RI seeks to realize this mission through world class computing and data management resources and services open to all European public research through a peer review process. The first production system, a one Petaflop/s IBM Blue Gene/P (JUGENE) is installed at Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany, a Gauss Centre for Supercomputing member site. The second production system, a 1.6 Petaflop/s BULL system called CURIE islocated near Paris and operated in a new computing center, the Très Grand Centre de Calcul.

EU FP7 HP SEE HP-SEE focuses on a number of strategic actions. First, it will link existing and upcoming HPC facilities in the region in a common infrastructure, and provide operational solutions for it. As a complementary action, the project will establish and maintain GEANT link for Caucasus. Second, it will open this HPC infrastructure to a wide range of new user communities, including those of less resourced countries, fostering collaboration and providing advanced capabilities to researchers, with an emphasis on strategic groups in computational physics, chemistry and life sciences. Finally, it will ensure establishment of national HPC initiatives, and act as a SEE bridge for PRACE. Coordinator: GRNET, Greece Participants: 14 countries
EU FP7 INARMERA-ICT The overall aim of INARMERA-ICT (Integrating Armenia into ERA: Information and Communication Technologies) is to reinforce the cooperation capacity of the Institute for Informatics and Automation Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia in Yerevan by creating the possibilities to improve its research activities in the areas of thematic priorities of FP7. Successful implementation of the INARMERA-ICT Work Programme will have a profound and long lasting impact on the EU-Armenia R&D cooperation.
